Front Street Coffee-Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee, brewing and sharing

Jamaica is an island country in the Caribbean region, located in the northwest of the Caribbean Sea, and is the third largest island in the Caribbean after Cuba and the island of Haiti. Kingston, the capital, is the seventh largest natural deep-water port in the world and a tourist resort. The city is surrounded by green hills and peaks on three sides, blue waves in the distant sea and picturesque scenery on one side, known as the "queen of the Caribbean city". It is these unique geographical environment that can give birth to world-class Blue Mountain Coffee.

As the name implies, Blue Mountain Coffee comes from Blue Mountain Coffee, so before introducing Blue Mountain Coffee, we have to introduce Blue Mountain Coffee. The Blue Mountains are located in the eastern part of the island of Jamaica, hence its name because it is surrounded by the Caribbean Sea. On clear days, the sun shines directly on the blue sea, and the peaks reflect the bright blue light of the sea. The highest peak of the Blue Mountains, which is 2256 meters above sea level, is the highest peak in the Mediterranean region and a famous tourist attraction.

Located in the coffee belt, with fertile volcanic soil, fresh air, no pollution, humid climate, foggy and rainy all the year round (the average precipitation is 1980 mm, the temperature is around 27 degrees), such a climate has created the world-famous Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee. It also creates one of the highest prices in the world. This kind of coffee has the characteristics of all good coffee, not only full-bodied and mellow, but also because of the perfect combination of sweet, sour and bitter coffee, it has no bitter taste at all, only a moderate and perfect sour taste.

From top to bottom in terms of quality, NO.1, NO.2, NO.3 and PB,PB are round beans. According to CIB standards, only coffee grown above 666m above sea level is called Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee. The best coffee is located in the Blue Mountain of Jamaica with a height of about 2000,000,2256m. Because it is located on a dangerous hillside, the output is small, the grain is large, the quality is good, the taste is harmonious, and it has appropriate sour, bitter, fragrant, mellow and sweet taste. It is recognized as the best in the world, so the price of Blue Mountain No.1 is the highest of all Blue Mountain Coffee.
